Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of Week #40 of our Weekly Card Design Competition. One of the awesome things about this competition is that it gets us all talking about what makes a card balanced, fun, realistic, interesting, unique, innovative, exciting, and more. However, to make sure that everything runs smoothly, we need to reserve the Submission Topic for submissions only. Everything else goes here. What is everything else, you might ask?
Rules or Process. Do you have a question about the competition's process? Do you need clarification about one of this week's entry requirements? Are you not sure whether your entry adhered to the rules? Ask here!
Feedback or Ideas. Do you have some ideas you'd like to run by others before settling on one? Do you need help balancing or wording your card? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? Or do you just want feedback from the community on your entry? You're in the right place! Remember, although you are allowed to make minor tweaks to your entry after you've submitted it, you're only allowed one submission per week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's cards? Are there directions you don't like that you're seeing too many people take? Or directions you'd like to see more people take? Would you like to help others and contribute to a greater community understanding of Hearthstone card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
WARNING:
Please refrain from the following...
Advertising Your Card.This is a new rule during Season 2. Please don't pop in here just to advertise your card only to never be heard from again. This includes only asking short, generic, or insincere questions like "Thoughts?" or "Do you think this is balanced?". Yes, getting feedback on your card is one of the purposes of this topic, but we're not just here for other people to help you. We're here for you all to help each other. 12 hours after this competition begins, there should be plenty of other posts here for you to give specific feedback or for you to comment on a trend. If you post your card for feedback after this time and do not also offer some form of substantial commentary, critique, or praise of others' work, you may find your post deleted.
Plagiarism. Many people post their ideas here before finalizing them in the submission topic. Directly plagiarizing those ideas to post in the submission topic yourself is absolutely not acceptable.
So, without further ado, have fun and get creating!
I'm very interested to see what people come up with this week. The restrictions seem tight at first, but they're actually VERY open. The most popular gaps to fill, I suspect, will be high-cost minions and 0-cost cards, but I hope that some people also take this opportunity to look at Weapons. Weapons have sooo much room to fill.
He's trying to decide if he wants to go resto or boomkin. The card is pretty much just better than Ironforge Rifleman, but Ironforge Rifleman is just a terrible card, and this is a class card, after all. What do people think of the balance? And would it be used? Seems to me like it might make a good arena pick at least.
So, i'm fascinated by really big minions(for the cost) with drawbacks in Hearthstone, so i wanted to make a 0 mana minion that has strong stats but a big downside. I went for a Warlock card because minions with drawbacks are the Warlock's "thing". However, i'm worried his stats might be too high or something. Feedback please.

It should be a beast

legend is like a marriage, one day it'll actually be there.
Craven Beast it's a perfect card to "Face Hunter" decks, and a good beast to combo with Ram Wrangler or Kill Command. But it's extremely bad to attack other minions in the late game.
This is the Discussion Topic. The Submission Topic is here.

Can you go into a little more detail about the card type requirement. Does it include subtypes like secrets?
Is this card ok for this competition ?
Here's an idea I had:

in the shower,i now see how OP this card is, lower the stats more, or make it +1 attack.@Asylum
I think you wrote the wrong competition's name in the submission thread, Evening the Odds was the one before the Gifts one.

I thought Face Hunter could need some improvements:
Do you think this should be 3/3? Or maybe 4/4, because of his downside? ;-)
